The Seven Cuticura Boys

| Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease; all ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family physi-
clan, who attempted to cure it; but it spread
with almost incredible rapidity, until the lower
portion of the little fellows person, from the
middle of his back down to his knees, was one
solid rash. ugly, painful, blotched and malicious.
We had no rest at night, no peace by day; finally
we were all advised to try the Cuticura Rene
dies; the effect was simply marvellous; in three
or four weeks a complete cure was wrought,
leaving the little fellows person as white and
healthy as though he had never been attacked:
in my opinion, your valuable remedies saved
his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy child
perfectly we'll, no repetition of the disease hsv-
ing ever occurred. GEO. B. SMITH,
Att'y-atLaw and ex-Pros. Atty, Ashland, O..
Reference: ]. G. Weist, druggist, Ashland,O.
One year ago the CHticura and Soap cured a
little girl in our house of the worst sore head
we ever saw, and the Resolvent and Cuticura
are now curing young gentleman of a sore
leg, while the physicians are trying to have it
smputated. 1t will save his leg.
S. B. SMITH & BRO, Covington, Ky.
Cuticura Remedies are absolutely pure, and
the only infallible skin beauti6er and blood
purifiers.

AN attempt has recently been made
by the Department of Agriculture to as
certain the amount of mortgages on
farms in the United States. the proper
tioa of farms encountered, and the ratio
of the aggregate Indebtedness secured
by mortgage to the total value of all
farm property. The result is, unfOrtu
nately, far from satisfactory, the differ
enee between adjoining States of much
the same aye and state of development,
such as New York and Pennsylvania,
being too great for belief. Howeyer.the
fair inference from the statistics of the
department is that the farm mortgages
of the United States represent about
ope-6fth of the aggregate value of farm
sng property, CT say $4,000 100000 out of
$4,000. 100000. That is heavier in
debteduess than is best for the interests
of the country, but it is not so over
whelmiug by any means AS many alarm
ists have represented. and in ten wears
more 1t will probably show decided de-
crease.

anime the report of the County Commissioners OF
said county, of their financial transactions for the
year ending September 9Th, 1885, having examined
the same. make the following report:
1st-The accounts of the commissioners for
per diem, mileage. services and expenses, are
not itemized required by law, and especially is
this the case as to the charges for expenses.
The following charges, copied from one of these
| accounts, shows the general manner of making
them:
Aug. 19 and 20, 1886 Newark, miles 2S0, mileage
S11.50, per diem $500, expenses $3.50; total, S60O
An itemized account, such the statute requires,
would show the business requiring official attention
at Newark and the items making an expenditure of
$3.50 as well the per diem and number of miles
travelled. 1t is but fair, however, to the commits
sloners to say that their accounts made on blanks
printed for the purpose and in the manner in which
they have been made and approved for years.
2d-In a number of cases We find that the COM
mssoners have allowed their accounts and received
their pay thereon long before the presen-
ted to approved by the Prosecuting Attorney and
Probate Judge as required by Law. In one instance
an account allowed and paid on an estimate Of
the amount due.
Srd-Ihe following bills are not itemized. and
were allowed by the board and paid but were
presented to the prosecuting attorney probate
judge for approval:

Your most valuable Cuticura Remedies have

These seven beautiful boys owe their beauty
of skin, lu1uriance of hair, purity of blood and
freedom from hereditary taint or humers to the
celebrated CUrIcURA REMEDIES.
Thousands Ofchildren are born into the world
every day with some eczemetous affections, such
milk crust, scall head, scurf or dandruff, sure
to develOpe into an agonizing eczema, the itch
ing, burning and disfguration of which make
life prolonged torture unless properly treated
warm bath with Cuticura Soap, an exquisite
Skin Beauti6er, and single application of
Cuticura, the Great Skin Cure, with little
Cuticura Resolvent, the New Blood Purifier, is
often sufficient to arrest the progress of the
disease, and point to speedy, permanent cure.

5th-Said commissioners have made and entered
on their Journal an order directing Morris Cope
one of their number, to visit St. Clairsville once
week, and as much oftener as he may think proper
to inspect the material used in constructing the
court house, etc., and in pursuance of such ORDER
he has been charging for and receiving for such
services, per diem, mileage and expenses. For a
time Mr.. Meehan acted in the same capacity. Inas-
much as the law provides for the employment OF an
architect builder to superntend the execution of
the contract for building the court house. and the
county has both in its employ. the duty of in
specting material and experimenting the erection
of the building should be entrusted to them.
